<p>[QUOTE=&quot;coin_nut, post: 7496804, member: 80148&quot;]Many countries did what they felt they had to do in WWII in order to survive and avoid being conquered. Appease the monster, OK, whatever works through &quot;diplomacy&quot;. Politicians and lawyers think and operate on a different wavelength than do so called normal people. Here in Thailand, they made some agreement with the Japanese and were not technically invaded and dominated, however they let the Japanese do pretty much as they pleased. American and British air attacks did occur. Most other local countries were taken by the Japanese and some had resistance groups to some extent. There is a lot more to world history than what used to be taught in US schools. I fear that today, children are very ignorant of world history in the past 100 years, and also in all past centuries. </p><p><br /></p><p>Meanwhile, I am hoping for a reply to my query about the big, open pit copper mine photo earlier. I did visit the Phelps-Dodge mine at Morenci, Arizona in 1977. It was an amazing sight. I am also curious about how ancient peoples smelted copper ore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
